The deal between River Plate and Real Madrid has been done for the young midfielder Franco Mastantuono. However, the player wants to continue playing for River Plate in this upcoming Club World Cup which will last for almost 1 month. So, the plan is to bring the player in August, once the competition ends. The deal is until 2031, which means the 6-year contract has been already agreed. However, nothing has been announced officially yet.
Real Madrid have struck a deal with River Plate for the highly-rated young midfielder Franco Mastantuono, sources close to the negotiations have confirmed. The Spanish giants have secured a long-term agreement with the 16-year-old talent, with a contract set to run until 2031 — a six-year commitment reflecting Madrid’s belief in his potential.
However, the official announcement is yet to be made, as the final details continue to be ironed out. One key aspect is Mastantuono’s personal wish to remain with River Plate for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. The tournament, which spans nearly a month, will give the youngster a chance to gain more high-level experience with his current club before making the move to Europe.
As it stands, the plan is for Mastantuono to join Real Madrid in August, once River Plate’s Club World Cup campaign concludes. The transfer marks yet another strategic move by Madrid, who continue to invest heavily in South America’s most promising talents.
